Bottling No. 02: A light-bodied, nonetheless hella good limited edition lager courtesy of the mad skills of the Full Sail crew. Crisp. Golden. Ultra drinkable. Totally LTD. Look for it Summer 2007.

Good amber lager with a nice mix of malt and spicy hops. The beer pours a light orange-amber color, a shade lighter than other Amber Lagers that Iíve come across. The head is white and dissipates fairly rapidly with a moderate amount of lacing. Thereís a pretty good malt presence, although it isnít terribly interesting, light caramel and a bit of biscuit. The hops are mildly spicy and also not incredible. However, the balance is good, and the aftertaste is also quite pleasant. There is some alcohol presence; itís stronger than your average lager. At any rate, itís a good beer, and hopefully, other American breweries will take note and release more different lagers.

An interesting experimentation from Full Sail. Its certainly unique but I dont really care for it too much. It pours nicely and has a fair aroma but the flavor is a bit more bitter than I expected and the mouthfeel lingers in a bad way

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. The color was a very clear orange. There was almost no head whatsoever, just a few bubbles. The smell was earthy. The taste was malty and had an interesting aftertaste. The mouth-feel was just right, not too thin. Decent beer but I just canít appreciate lagers the way I appreciate ales.

A: Golden yellow in color with a billowing head upon the pour. The head fades to just less than one finger in pilsner glass as several strings of tiny bubbles steadily race to the top.
S: A nice malty smelling beer with hints of a honey like sweetness.
T: Not real flavorful. Like the smell the taste is malty with a touch of sweetness.
M: This beer is very crisp on the tongue. Its very light and smooth it goes down easy.

Straight forward malt aroma, kinda toasty with a trace of hops. Pours clear honey orange color with some decent lacing. Flavor is quite similar to the aroma description. Overall this is pretty good, a decent session brew.
